This humorous but enlightening 'Poor Man's Guide' will lift the lid on all the fun &amp; games, whilst still providing some useful insights for anyone with a passing interest in property. No cherry on top, mind, just as it is. Courtesy of your 'secret agent ' host Michael Blackmoor.</p>]]></description>
